The kids have had spring break this week; and with a new baby around and Mommy not so spry, that translates into an excessive amount of movie viewing. Hook has been a favorite on the menu. And apparently that results in conversations like this one from tonight with Georgie:
Georgie:Â Mom, was Captain Hook right?
Me:Â Umm, I don’t know. What did he say?
Georgie: He said that parents tell their kids stories so that they’ll fall asleep and the parents can have time to themselves.
Me: Yes! That sounds about right to me.
Georgie: (insert hysterical laughter here). I knew that was a dumb question. You guys would never do that to us. I just had to ask it to get it off my mind.
Me: (dead silence)
Ahhh, so trusting! I didn’t bother to correct this charming faith in our parenting skills. He undoubtedly wouldn’t have believed me even if I had.

P.S. Anika finally lost her first tooth on Tuesday, which she was pretty excited about. As soon as I can schmooze my Hubby into downloading the picture from the camera, I’ll post it for you.
Fiendish friend for effusive fun!
